The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2616

Harold, already crumbling in chaos at that moment, frantically tried to find an excuse for himself, but Elder Baggin had interjected him with a deep frown and a sharp stare. "Shut up right now! Since Fane is this strong, then all questions have been answered. There's no black-clothed man, and you were threatened at all. If Fane hadn't surprised us with his strength, your plan would've gone perfectly.

"Fane would've died on Holy Cloud Mountain, and you'd rid yourself of a source of hatred. Since you weren't by Fane's side at the time, the higher-ups wouldn't be suspicious of you at all!

"It's just your poor luck that the assassin you sent was no match for Fane, and your plan failed horrendously. Fane, did you deliberately place the corpse where people would pass by?"

Fane nodded. "If I had just spoken the truth, no one would have believed me. It was better if I put the corpse in front of everyone and had Elder Eliot investigate.

"I was sure that Harold thought his plan was flawless, that it wouldn't be traced back to him at all."

Johnson collapsed on the floor as he mumbled, "So there really wasn't anyone else..."

That question had plagued Johnson for a long time.

Michael's death had been far too strange. Even after so much trouble, no one else was found at Holy Cloud Mountain at all, so who had harmed Michael?

Who placed that corpse there?

Even though they had crafted a lie, Johnson had been bogged down with fear, swallowed with his worry that the killer behind the scenes would pop up and overturn all of their lies.

Fane let go of his right hand, and the pale-faced Harold fell to the floor. Even if he tried to give himself any excuses, Harold had no way of saving his skin anymore.
